What's That Lurking in the Dark?

Tim: When you're afraid, close your eyes and count to five. Sometimes it works for me.

Franny Roberts: What happens when you get to six?

- From the movie "The Boogeyman"

Been down with a massive headache hence stayed in bed 'til 4PM. That's a record even for me! It's been raining since this morning and didn't get the chance or even have the inclination to go out. Nothing interesting to photograph inside the house too. So decided to take a peek into the shadows.

I remember growing up I was a total sissy when it comes to dark places. I had a wild imagination (then and now!) and always saw things in the shadows that possibly weren't there. I always thought there was something lurking in the shadows that was out to get me. Counting to five or even saying The Lord's Prayer certainly was not enough! Lol. Funny because I also like watching horror films and this did not help at all! The last horror film I watched that had me leaving the lights on at night was "The Ring" Japanese (original) version. This photo reminded me of those days. Too bad they don't make horror films like they used to. I can attest to that coz I haven't had the need to keep the lights on at night since watching "The Ring". Lol.
